‘SrE; 13 11 sTEIt ELECTION. THIRD DAY. Sir MURRAY MAXw ELL oo Saturday railed on 5t t0.„1 0! s trieods in hl4 carriage :he still wears a hilek sh4ile over hi. eye. Up to 3 o'clock Mr. limit polled exactly (we vole per hour. — on-his arrival, immediately mounted his old situation, (mu of the most conspicuous he could in,„ tew minires, lif4wevei , two or three prisons began to clap their hands, and several hoarse voices vociferated Einnt f”r ever," when lie instantly resumed his usual sang froid, in spite of the incessant and strongly expressed contempt which wls heaped upon him from a thousand voices at once. Several lights now took place bet o - eett the different parCzans, and some blood was spilt out both side's. The tumult for about a quarter of an hour was quite astounding: At length ti,e state of the poll was announced, which .crea:ed a fresh interest, and the fighting ceased. At lb, close of the Poll, the numhers were, for Sonind Rortiily ....t27f (lon. Douglas Kinnaird.. 6.3 Sir Murray 1241 I NIL Bout 53 Sir Francis flordttt 484 f NlBjrir Cartwright . bit M. Maxw ELL (supported by Sir H. Black wood, and Captain Basil UAL) addressed the leetittg. The reason he did not appear before them to-day, as soon as yesterday was, that he luisl been told it led to contusion outside. He was desirous that order, regularity, and decorum, should he observed both in.ide and out ; lie hoped, therefore, they would listen to the few words he bad to say.—(Applause )—He had upon the two former days said nothing about the other Candi dates, or those who represented them upon the Lusting, nor did he intend to do so until now, when he telt himself called upon in consequence of the liberties that had liven taken with his name. To say the least ot it, the tepresentiations that had been made of his character were a gross mistake. He was spoken of Cis a flogging Captain. It w a s asserted that he was fit for nothing but to give a dozen at the mast. In answer to all this, he would tell them what his principle of discipline was : it was by every means to prevent clime rather than to inflict ponishment.—(Lond Ap plattse.)—When, on the first day of the Poll, he received the friendly blow that was aimed at hm, he could see some of his sailors in the crowd crying shame ; to them he would appeal for his character. If hecoul d not do so with coofidenee, be should never appear before them. lie would now say a few words upon the popular topic of politics. A person in the Crowd yesterday called tiot and said, " Halloo, Max well, I'll gii , e you my vote, if von promise to support universal suffrage." answer was, that he did not know the meaning of universal soffrag,e :—(Applause)— but th it he would he obliged to the gentleman who spoke to explain it to him. Instead of doing so he instantly withdrew his face, and got under the scaffolding. It was oft wonder that neither hr nor his querist knew it, for no two friends of 'the other Candidates were agreed upon the matter. (Applause.)—Though much of his life had been spent at sea, he read a great deal, and was not inattentive to the constitution of his own country, or to the his•ory ot others. He remembered, that some years back a plan of universal suffrage was proposed, and acted upon iii a neighbouring coun try ; and what was the symbol of it ? The red cap.—(Applause.)—And what were the conse quences ? He would not barrow up their feelings by calling back the temembranee of the atrocious acts that had been committed ; hat the cap of hi.. betty was succeeded by tie iron crown.—(Loud cheering.)—Some were of ()pillion that they ought TO vote by hallOt. He who first put on the cap of liberty, and afterwards the iron crown, tried also the vote by ballot. He tried it in France atter his return from Elba. They all knew where the great and glorious IVellington sent him in three mouths after.---(Applause.)—They who spoke of univer sal suffrage and vote by ballot, addri ssed them selves to the passions, and not to the understand iug. He teas confident they would not be led astray by such language ; for there was mote sound sense in their little finger than it) the whole body of those who declaimed upon such topics.— (Applause.)—He would now appeal to their seism). Upon the first day of the poll he appealed to their heatts. Let them now s e where he stood.—(Applause.)---Ile could not but coin— mend their judgment, for he saw no red or blue rihboms among them. With these few remarks be would wish them a good day. Captain BASIL 1-111.1. said, it was olsjected to his Hem! (Sir Murray Maxwell), that being a Naval Officer, he was not a tit representative for Westminster, or a person from whom the defence of the country's rights could be expected. The wooden walls of Old England were her best de fence, and who so tit to keep than in repair as a per Son brought up in the Navy ? His friend vi sited the people of Westminster in person, to meet any objection they might have agaiwt him. Did the other candidates do so ? No. They remain ed in their chambers, or went into the country. — It was impossible for them to know the senti ments of the Electors without meeting them face to face. Mr. IttcnAttnsoN retnrned them most grateful thank 3 for Sir F. Burde:t. Flowerer small the advantage they had gained that day, still they had a strong phalanx lying by, which they would see there on Monday and Tuesday. Th e reason for their being so low on the poll, was on account of a slight misunderstanding among the Committees of Burdett and Cartwright, but that had been done away, as the next speaker would 'explain to them. Mr. BRUCE (who aided in the escape of Lava lette,) said he was unknown to them, and -there fore'entitled to their indulgence. He had on that occasion a double duty to perform ; the first most painful to his feelings, but the last securing their liberties.. The first was, to announce to them that• Sir F. Burdett's Committee had withdrawn the name of Mr. D. Kinnaird front the poll. He then read a letter from that Gentleman, in which Lc .wished that his name should be removed from the poll whenever it should be considered preju di,7ial to the cause of real Reform,. Mr. D. Kin n dhl not obtrude himseif upon their notice, ;pu T , rouht forward by the Committee, as _tnleots and cloyamce, an'! p o s. • ,anle opinions, as to Li s le CaUSV of the people, with Sir L. Burdett, Fie knew Mr. Kin• nand well,. for they had been brought to gether, and he could say, that if he had beers turned as one of their Representatives, the choice.. ...mild have ilone them honour. But Sir F. Bor 7 dot now stood alone, and he trusted they 'Would support him.----To speak of the Hon. Baronet's virtues as they deserved was impossible. hit they knew hint well, sod he would, not believe they would return to Parliament a Court candi date in preference to their old and tried Repre sentative.—(Much confusion prevailed here.) — It they valued their characters as Electors, or the Constitution and liberties of their country, they would make a most strenuons effint for Sir F. Burdett ; and if they did not, rind suffered them selves to be defeated, he should look on that hus tings as the grave of then liberties. Mr. CLEARY saidahat,'in bringing forward the venerable Major Cartwright as their candidate, the Committee had but one wish, namely, to se cure to the people their liberties ; for unless the liberties of England were recovered all Europe must be slaves. The Committee had split on taking up the 'cause of Mr. Kinnaird, one party considering him not yet sufficiently known in po litics. With that in their view they had proposed Major Cartwright ; but the venerable Major had retired in order to secure the election of Sir F. Burdett. There was now a perfect union be tweet) the Committees, and they would he un conquerable ; the event of Monday would prove that, else he was not a living man. From the poll-book there appeared a union between Ro tnilly and the Court Candidate, which he hoped would be disclaimed. He concluded by trusting that Hunt would assist its returning Burdett. Mr. IVISWART, in the name of Sir S. RomiHy's friends, rettirned them their warmest thanks fisr raising him so high ; but he conjured them not to relax in !heir endeavours. approved highly of the conduct of two of . the Candidates iu tetir ing when they found they could do no good to the cause of the people. Ile denied that die friends of Sir S. Romilly had coalesced with th o s e of Sir M. Maxwell, though some persons Illight have voted for both. HUNT then proceeded to address his rabble, amidst groans and hisses. He was happy at this union of feeling and sentiment among the El,c• tors of Westminster. " (hey They had now two Court candidates, and two candidates who were the blends of the people.—(Hisses.)—lf there were any doubt that Sir Murray Maxwell was the Court candidate, there was a proof in Lott! Cas. tlereagh having that day given him a plumper. Lord Yarmouth had also voted for Sir M. Max well ; and he (blunt) had the books examined to see whether his Lordship's poor-rates had been paid. He did that because many of his voters had been objected to on that account. He therefore took his Lordship op to the high Bailiff as fast as his Ion; spurs would let him, and bound that his Lordsl,ip and the shoemaker who voted for him (hunt) were equal, both (lien rates having been • paid. He hoped the citizens of Westminster would support hint.— (Laughter.)—He would.have twelve nays more of that fun, and hoped to be addressing thex there on that day fortnight.— (k-lere the uproar became so great he was obliged to retire.) GALE JONES - supported him,• and made one of ltis long and rapid harangues in behalf of his wor thy friend. The Meeting then disper rd. [About three o'clock, a very violeut altercation took place on the hustings between the Poll Clerks, Air. Charles Pitt (who is an agent of Sir F. Bordett's Committee), and a person of the name of Emanod, who presented himself to vote. This person was in the act of raising the book to his lips, when Mr. Pitt suddenly !tithed forward over the heads of the Clerks, and insisted that he was not eligible to vote, inasmuch as he livert in a house for which the Government paid the taxes. Mr. Emanuel instantly and earnestly appealed to the collector of his parish, who happened to he among the inspecting clerks, and he mega vocally rebutted the assertion of Mt': Pitt, who attempted to apologise, but Mr. Emanuel was not to be so appeased. He retorted with great anger—" I came here, Mr. Pitt, to vote for Sir Francis, as I always have done ; but since he suffers such people as yotttoact in his name, here goes a plumper for Sir Samuel !"] CITY ELECTION. FII:TII DAY. Saturday, about half-past three o'clock, the numbers on the poll Were placarded in the usual form 113 tullow3 :-- Wocil 3779 I Curtis Wilson 3833 Thorp 9.729 Wuitlonan 2979 Atkins 1613 • Mr. Alderman WOOD expressed his hearty thanks to the Livery for their• continued support in maintaining him still at the head-of the poll. That they would not relax their endeavours to uphold him in his present station, he entertained the fullest confidence.—(Applatise.,) Mr. ‘VILION 'said, be felt proud at the same time he felt grateful, for so many distinguished marks of the support which he had met with from the Livery.- If the same encouragement and sup port should still be extended to him till the close of the poll, - he had no doubt of receiving that ho nourable reward which he had been induced to solicit at their hands.—(Applause.) Mr. WatTnmaN observed, that although there was sonic slight difference in the relative num bers of this day's poll, al compared with that of 'yesterday, it was too trifling to deserve' conside ration. It did not exceed fourteen or fifteen voters, a number which, had it been much larger, could not have derogated from the victory which had heen achieved. Never had there been a more steady poll, never a more regular progression on the whole scale, he had not now risen and now sunk, but had g one on in comparative success. — He remarked upon the influence exercised against him, and that when thee considered the extent and power of that influence, they would see the necessity of. continuing-their exertions. It they persevered %vith the Same spirit which they hid hitherto manifested, and every adherent . vvr.:4ltl bring one I►ieud - with Lim to the poll on Monday, he Was assured of final and 'complete stceds.— (Applause.) Sir W. CURTIS pointed several times to .the state of the poll, but could not be heard. Mr. Alderman 'Fnonr returned his gratc;til 'thanks for the efforts made that day, as well as oit forther days, in his favour. Although the state of the poll had undergone sonic variation, lie was far from being discouraged, and looked forward with confidence to the result on Monday and Tuesday.—(Applause.) The appearance of Mr. Alderman ATKINS re newed the uproar to a degree of unparalleled vio lence, and unit gentleman therefore declined mak ing a vain attempt to be heard --ln the course of the evening he declined the contest. SOUTHWARK ELECTION- THIRD DAY. Saturday the poll commenced at the usual hour, and was carried on with very great spirit. The state of the poll at its close was - For Mr. Calvert 1,942 Sir It. Wilson Barclay The declaration of the minarets was, as usual, received with the most rapturous applause. Mr. CALVERT had again the pleasing task of expressing his gratitude for the exertions tmtde by hisfricnds, and to congratulate them on the state of the poll. At the same time he had to announce to them, that an attempt was about to he made to deduct from - the numbers polled all the Sutiolk nranur Nlint votes, as well as those ‘elio. had toter', not having paid their rates. If this mea swe was carried, it would cause a consider:44le reduction of •hair nitinhels, dud it would retptire all their exettitnis to preserve the situation ,t4ey had 'tow attlitied ; he teas certain, howcyer, that no etoivaties %rev, neceAsat y on his part to induce doom to mike these exertions. This was the an niveisaiy of ni::wpg Magna Charta. lie hoped the el,ctuts sv old dgahl signalize the day by se curing to themselves their future independence. Ile ha I h lteti that an end would have been put to 'hi, eontemt to.d.iy, by the retirement Of his Honourable Ft iend. in ISO 7 he (Mr. Cid t) retired when the majority against him was only 125. lle totoed his Him. Fliend would be guid ed by his usual grind sense, arid not unnecessarily pr.d. 414 this con est. '[lie character of ,his Ilon. Fiiend sv is iti,4ldy respect Aile ; all who knew him would, he c,o agiee with him in that sentiment The opposition which he now met with was not a t zaiii:t the man, but against the teptesentat vt ; and lie trusted that, whatever might he the result of this contest, after it teas over all enmities would be forgotten, and all par ties would meet with feelings. of friendship.— (Applause.)—lle could not conclude without re quest cog t vy would hear patiently any thing Mr. Barclay aright tt ish to address to them. Ilis Ho nourable Friend was accused, and it . was contrary to Britisti justice and British liberality to con demn an accused person unheard.—(Laud -ap plause, anti cries for Mr. Barclay to come for ward.) . Air. B\RCL%Y came forward,. and was received with hold applait.e, mixed with some slight marks of disapprobation. lie assured the electors he bad not the most distant wish to disturb the peace of the lioroogh,or to keep the poll open one minute beyond what was necessary. It was true his Hon. iend had retired when the majority against him was only 125", but at that time upwards of 3,000 electors had polled. Nov the ',timber did not exceed 2,500, and.upwards of 1,000 still remained to vote, he could not therefore consent to give up the contest. . lie was sure they wished every one should have an opportunity of exercising, his elec tive franchise, and it was his duty to afford them an opportunity of doing so. The objection to the, Mint and Suffolk-Manor voters had been alluded to; he could assure them he was not the person who made the objection ; indeed, when it was commu nicated to him, he strongly opposed their rejection. The ether rrsons allotted to Dever had been allowed to vote at any former election ; and he thoteght he was serving tbe'cause of the electors, when he en- ' deavoured to confine the poll to those who had a right to vote. He assured those who heard him that he had tto personal feeling of enmity towards any one, and however the contest might termi nate, he trusted he should still lis'a ainongst them as he had done, respected by and respreting them. Whilst he had represented them, lie had arrays endeavoured faithfully to discharge his duty ; it had been his misfortune to differ trout some of the electors, but he was now before them, and the great body would judge of hint. Whilst he had the honour of a seat in Parliament, great part of his time had occessarily been occupied in attending his public duties. This had been an important sa crifice to him in his situation ; and should it be their pleasure to reject hint, he should retire to private life without a murmur, ever ra taining a grateful remembrance of the kindness he had received at their hands. It was impossible for him to con chide without acknowledging the honourable con • duct Of the gentleman who was opposed to hint. He had known that gentleman but three days; in that time, however, he had, by the urbanity cif Ilia manner, raised in his mind the highest esteem for hint ; and it he should not succeed in this contest, the -regret he should feel would be much lessened by the koowletfge that their interests were intrusted to the keeping of one who W,19 worthy their Confidence. lie concluded by thank ing the meeting for the patient hearing they had afforded him, and assuring them he would not keep the poll open one minute after he felt that the decided opinion of the electors had been ex pressed —(11e retired amidst applause and disap probation.) Sir R. WtesoN had once more to congratulate his frieuda on their exertions. He yesterday de clared himself . confident of a majority; he had. now to wish them joy on having passed the shoals and quicksands of opposition, and having safely moored their bark itt the bay of independence. He had heard, however, that the resistance was still to be protracted. He called on them to con tinue their exertions ; for though their triumph was sure, be wished it to be such as should de ter all roture attempts to overturn their independ ence. The kindness of his friends had been so great, their zed so general, it was almost impos sible to select particular instances : he should, botteeer, be hoped . , be pardoned for stating two • of three.

It had been, his fortune most parts of the continent. He had attentive', considered the Government of each State, an d 11 je result had invariably been a feeling of gratitude t°l Providence that he was born an Englishma n i an i t i he had always felt that he should be read, a t times to sacrifice his life for the good of his eMn" e try : his maxim was, not to live a 3 1011 K 83 b s could, but as long as he ought ; that Was,' long as he could he useful, and no longer ; though he disapproved of foreign GoveroMenr generally, yet there were some maxims iirn°4 ( l them worth remembering, and he bad trea sure them up in his memory. One was, t hat a ll inj dolent man in power was an injury - to H comn i ` t ; nity : a second was, that when a man in r we r laid down to repose,- he should, he sietlt P:' • n think of the numbers - whom - dppreslio Etnd s ittiog spry kept waking ; a •third was,. t h a t on down to a feast, be should recollect the non',, b r; pining for want ; and a fourth, that when ceal"l!.,l at liberty, be should not forget. those c.mti"ed dungeorta,aod in irons, the ; victims of desP niis , ll ,l•l He should recollect that though men woe s°l. 5 to obey the monarch, yet. t h at the in . mo ch subject to the laws„ and not the law, to the 11 : : ; narch..

He trusted that tt l,e sentiments would render hint worthy of bei"g l l l ,t colleag,ue of Mr. Calvert, and that he woul d ce be jealous even it the electors of.Soittirr.vark tl him a moiety of their afftetion.
